Fairfax Media will buy free weekly community newspaper D-Scene, based in Dunedin, New Zealand, the National Business Review reported.

D-Scene was launched earlier this year, in a heated market, and Fairfax has said it is in a position to give readers and advertisers more choices.

The purchase is expected to be completed next week, but the price was not disclosed, according to the National Business Review. The weekly will be operated by The Southland Times community newspaper group.
